Scrimbly Jacqueline 34/52: tfw your siblings come to visit you and then suddenly London is on fire and you run into another magibean while trying to smuggle the (accidental) arsonists themselves out 😬😬😬

So a couple of weeks back I was chatting with @kscribbs and I was like I'M OUT OF SCRIMBLE IDEAS! AH! and K went "well listen...if u want suggestions...👀👀👀👀" and she GAVE lmao. So here is the first of FOUR (4) kscribbs suggestions that I am going to call SCRIMBLIES: CHALLENGE MODE because they ARE a little more challenging but we are READY!!! LET'S GO!

ONE OF FOUR: IN WHICH MEL, IN DISGUISE AS A MAN, RUNS INTO JACQUELINE AND THE TWINS DURING THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON, 1666 EDITION. The weird thing on her elbow is her moustache which has been "lost" in the chaos 🤭🤭

Fashion is fun! Went generic for late 17th century until I found a detailed reference website HERE which has been QUITE the BOON. I think it's pretty on brand that Jacquie is a few decades behind, given this is around the same time as the piracy lol.

Positioning the twins was a BITCH, FINO ESPECIALLY! Lil guy was NOT cooperating, had to remind myself IT'S A SCRIMBLE, DANI and then we (sorta) got it. Fiera is .2 seconds away from escaping and telling Mel all about their exciting night! Mel is just trying to help people, poor dear, running into these three in the middle of an uncontrollable fire 😅😅😅 (side note: think I finally know which colours I want to use for her!)

We've talked about them running into one another during this particular fire of London before, and I think how it actually happens is Fiera runs into a burning building, Fino close behind, while Jacqueline panics. Mel goes to help only to be told IT'S OKAY THEY'RE ALSO ON FIRE as the pair of them burst through the front like SEE? SHORTCUT! and Jacqueline is like FOR YOU TWO MAYBE! And Mel is like THE BUILDINGS ARE GONNA COLLAPSE IF YOU KEEP THAT UP as the building collapses behind them, lmao (or some such similar encounter).

It is very much an "in passing" moment with brief words shared, of which the words in the scrimble are the funniest I could think of lmao. Fiera's excited to be there and Fino's appalled that Jacqueline is lying about their fire (unaware of the ramifications this could have for the pair of them). It is truly a miracle that Jacqueline's hair has A) stayed up and B) is only half melted lmao (especially since she is LITERALLY holding TWO WHOLE FIRES in her ARMS)

Anyway. I am VERY behind. Don't know how that happened. 2 more and I'm caught up for this week! Not only is it KSCRIBBS CHALLENGE MODE it is also a TIMED CHALLENGE apparently lol. Y'all are in for some TREATS

(oh and also. Mel is @kscribbs's little guy whomst you can read about in Miller's Law. I have stolen her once more! And will do it one more time! That I know of so far, hehe 🤭)

[lmelodie]

Doodle Dump! But it make it more finished, I guess. I had a fair bit of mostly finished stuff lying around so here’s those for ya!

YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM DRAWING JULIAN! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! He’s so incredibly complicated, but every once and a while he actually likes being in his own company and isn't trying to constantly hurl himself off a cliff! Sometimes he likes being himself and he never tell anyone that ever.

And I got the scale all wrong with the rest of the frost fam in that next one, but I liked the idea of him picking up Jacqueline like a claw machine, so I rendered and kept it. Fun Fact! I'd like to imagine when Julian picks up all the frost family at once (Blaise in two hands, everyone else in one), he got the idea to learn how to juggle with all six arms. Neither Jack nor Kills knows how to juggle, but Julian is DTERMINED to learn how to do it with SIX ARMS.

I’m still not over @herbalsingularitea Jack design so I think this counts as a little fanart for them! He’s just so SHAPEY and I've been taking style notes because Moss is really good at this you guys. I also did a version where I imposed my own color scheme onto him just to see how it would look. Keep up the great work my guy!

And lastly, these guys are doing an outfit swap, kinda? Style swap, I guess? Their wearing each other's elements basically. I have a lot to say about both of their design choices, but in essence: I leaned real hard in a Mad Hatter direction for Jack and spiked up MN to the heavens. It was just a fun design experiment. 

(I also gave a brown-haired version to Jack because when making it I was still debating whether or not his hair was brown or blue when its thawed. But its firmly blue now. so shhhhh)

He’s only small! You can't get mad at him when he’s so tiny!

Older Frost Kids my BELOVED. This was basically just a warmup thing that I liked enough to do flats on (Thats what MOST of the things here are: Just roughs/sketches/warmups that I liked enough to clean up and color). But this image screamed the frost siblings to me, so I had to do it. Fiera with the mustard is a whole mood.

LA GUERRA

Se ha levantado aquél que durmió tanto, se ha levantado de honda catacumba. Gigante inadvertido en el crepúsculo, la luna con su negro puño aplasta.

En vespertino fragor de ciudades llueven cencio foráneas tinieblas, cuaja en yelo la torva del mercado. Silencio. Miran en redor. No saben.

Los hombros ase leve por las calles. Pregunta sin respuesta. Un rostro blanco. Gañe a lo lejos un sutil clamor, de mentones en punta vibran barbas.

En las montañas rompe ya a bailar y grita: «¡Arriba todos los guerreros!». Y resuenan, si la testuz revuelve, mil cráneos que ensarta su carlanca.

Cual torre irrumpe de ascuas del ocaso, donde huye el día, y ya la sangre corre. Cuerpos sin cuento yacen en las juncias, que ensabanan las aves de la muerte.

Sobre el fogaje azul de las murallas se alza, y sobre la negra batahola. Sobre poternas con caídos guardas, y sobre puentes que amontonan muertos.

De noche espanta al fuego, rojo alano, campo a través con fieros alaridos. De la sombra nocturno reino brota, su orilla alumbran cráteres terribles.

Y se empavesan tenebrosos llanos hasta el confín de rojos capirotes, y cuanto baja en banda a los caminos él barre a las hogueras, que se aviven.

Y los bosques devoran llamas fieras, con sus tercos murciélagos cetrinos. Cual carbonero, atiza con su vara la arboleda, aventando bien el fuego.

Una ciudad se sume en humo pardo, zozobra muda al vientre del abismo. Mas el gigante sobre los escombros rueda tres veces su antorcha en el cielo.

Contra el fulgor de nubes laceradas en yermos fríos de tinieblas muertas, para agostar la noche cuanto es ancha, diluvia pez y brasas en Gomorra.

DER KRIEG

Aufgestanden ist er, welcher lange schlief, Aufgestanden unten aus Gewölben tief. In der Dämmrung steht er, groß und unerkannt, Und den Mond zerdrückt er in der schwarzen Hand.

In den Abendlärm der Städte fällt es weit, Frost und Schatten einer fremden Dunkelheit, Und der Märkte runder Wirbel stockt zu Eis. Es wird still. Sie sehn sich um. Und keiner weiß.

In den Gassen faßt es ihre Schulter leicht. Eine Frage. Keine Antwort. Ein Gesicht erbleicht. In der Ferne ein Geläute dünn Und die Bärte zittern um ihr spitzes Kinn.

Auf den Bergen hebt er schon zu tanzen an Und er schreit: Ihr Krieger alle, auf und an. Und es schallet, wenn das schwarze Haupt er schwenkt, Drum von tausend Schädeln laute Kette hängt.

Einem Turm gleich tritt er aus die letzte Glut, Wo der Tag flieht, sind die Ströme schon voll Blut. Zahllos sind die Leichen schon im Schilf gestreckt, Von des Todes starken Vögeln weiß bedeckt.

Über runder Mauern blauem Flammenschwall Steht er, über schwarzer Gassen Waffenschall. Über Toren, wo die Wächter liegen quer, Über Brücken, die von Bergen Toter schwer.

In die Nacht er jagt das Feuer querfeldein Einen roten Hund mit wilder Mäuler Schrein. Aus dem Dunkel springt der Nächte schwarze Welt, Von Vulkanen furchtbar ist ihr Rand erhellt.

Und mit tausend roten Zipfelmützen weit Sind die finstren Ebnen flackend überstreut, Und was unten auf den Straßen wimmelt hin und her, Fegt er in die Feuerhaufen, daß die Flamme brenne mehr.

Und die Flammen fressen brennend Wald um Wald, Gelbe Fledermäuse zackig in das Laub gekrallt. Seine Stange haut er wie ein Köhlerknecht In die Bäume, daß das Feuer brause recht.

Eine große Stadt versank in gelbem Rauch, Warf sich lautlos in des Abgrunds Bauch. Aber riesig über glühnden Trümmern steht Der in wilde Himmel dreimal seine Fackel dreht,

Über sturmzerfetzter Wolken Widerschein, In des toten Dunkels kalten Wüstenein, Daß er mit dem Brande weit die Nacht verdorr, Pech und Feuer träufet unten auf Gomorrh.

Lezioni di volo

Arrivate al campo di allenamento trovammo Cordelia e Brigid che parlavano con una ragazza della nostra classe. Era Clarisse Warrington. Era alta quasi come Brigid e portava i capelli corti come un ragazzo. Le altre l’avevano conosciuta a colazione e ci presentarono.  Vidi Darren attraversare il campo, andava verso suo fratello Colin e un’altro ragazzo, David Fanny, che era sempre nella nostra stessa casa. C’erano i grifondoro del primo anno con noi quella mattina. Era la prima lezione che facevamo con loro, e io non avevo stretto molte amicizie tra il treno e la cerimonia di smistamento, quindi il campo era pieno di facce nuove per me, e pieno di manici di scopa in terra, stesi uno accanto all’altro, ordinatamente, in due lunghe file. Madama Bumb arrivò e si presentò. Era svelta, sbrigativa. Parlava a raffica, decisa e senza prendere fiato tra le parole. Ci dispose su due file, io ero tra Charlotte e Clarisse Warrington. Davanti a noi, nella fila opposta Hecate e Brigid prendevano posto alla destra di due manici di scopa distesi a terra, accanto a loro, proprio di fronte a me, Madama Bumb stava spingendo uno dei gemelli, Colin, dalla faccia che fece accorgendosi che mi aveva davanti. 

Guardai ai miei piedi il mio manico di scopa. Era pietoso.  Mio padre mi ha regalato diversi manici di scopa negli anni, non credevo ce ne potessero essere di così malandati. Non era nemmeno più marrone, era grigiastro, gli aghi erano tutti dritti e scomposti, non più pettinati in una forma a pennello come le scope nuove. “Cosa state aspettando? Stendete la mano destra sulla scopa e dite SU!” Gridò Madama Bumb. 

Il volume eccessivo della sua voce colse tutti di sorpresa. Il mio braccio si alzo’ d’istinto, dopo aver tremato. “SU!” dissi ad alta voce. Il cadavere del mio manico di scopa si sollevo dal suolo e lo strinsi saldamente a metà del manico quando toccò la mia mano. Hecate mi guardò a bocca aperta con un’espressione compiaciuta, tra gli sguardi storditi dei grifondoro attorno a noi. “Eccellente miss Frost.” Uno dopo l’altro gli altri studenti iniziarono ad imitarmi. Alcuni con più successo degli altri. La scopa di Hecate venne su al primo tentativo, come anche quella di Clarisse Warrington. Charlotte ci mise un paio di su, poco decisi, per afferrare la sua e Brigid dovette tentare quasi dieci volte. In media i serpeverde andarono molto meglio dei grifondoro comunque. Ne fui fiera. Anche Colin l’aveva afferrata al primo tentativo. “Questa scopa deve essere più vecchia del professor Silente.” Dissi disgustata osservando da vicino il mio manico malandato mentre alcuni ragazzi stavano aspettando a turno l’aiuto di Madama Bumb. Charlotte scoppiò a ridere in modo sguaiato, anche Clarisse rise. Hecate e Brigid, che avevano sentito, sogghignarono divertite scuotendo la testa. Guardai il gemello che a sua volta mi guardava, ma stavolta non rise. Sollevò un sopracciglio e poi distolse lo sguardo dal mio. A quel punto ero certa che fosse Colin e non Darren. 

Una volta che tutti ebbero i loro manici di scopa stretti in mano, Madama Bumb ci intimò di metterci in posizione e salirci a cavalcioni. Avremmo dovuto darci una spinta da terra alzarci a mezz’aria e ritoccare subito terra. Mi sembrava quasi innaturale. Sapevo volare, mio padre mi aveva insegnato da bambina. Questa lezione era estremamente semplice, immaginai che fosse perché molti non avevano genitori che gli avessero insegnato ad andare sul manico di scopa come me. Alcuni ragazzi del grifondoro erano figli di babbani, da parte di entrambi i genitori. Era un mondo difficile da immaginare per me. Da quello che dissero non l’avevano neanche mai visto un manico di scopa, figuriamoci averne cavalcato uno. Payton Sullivan, una ragazza del grifondoro, cadde dalla scopa. Non si fece male, i suoi piedi a penzoloni dalla scopa sfioravano ancora il prato. Inclinò il manico di scopa in avanti e cadde di faccia nell’erba. L’unica cosa che ruppe furono le calze sul ginocchio, niente di più. Non le uscì nemmeno il sangue.

Madama Bumb ci fece mettere in fila uno dietro l’altro. Lei si posizionò pochi metri distante dalla fila. Teneva il braccio alzato e una campanella stretta nei grossi guanti di pelle marrone. Il primo della fila si sollevò a pochi centimetri da terra, subito partì in avanti e allungando la mano fece tintinnare la campanella. Era Colin Spirits. Atterrò a un paio di metri da Madama Bumb, e si andò a sedere affianco alla fila con Payton Sullivan, che era stata esonerata da questo complicato tentativo. Uno dopo l’altro serpeverde e grifondoro si alternarono per arrivare alla campanella. Darren, il gemello buono, la sfiorò con la testa prima di cadere. Madama Bumb disse che era comunque un tentativo valido. Charlotte aveva appena toccato la campanella quando si sentì una massa d’aria spostarsi velocemente alle sue spalle. Dolly Jepsen, del grifondoro aveva suonato la campanella subito dopo di lei. Vidi Charlotte diventare rossa. Credetti che stesse per esplodere. Dolly Jepsen le fece una smorfia compiaciuta. “Miss Jepsen non avevo detto di partire!” Esclamò Madama Bumb tenendo gli occhi sulla fila a non su di lei. L’espressione di Dolly cambiò. “5 punti in meno a grifondoro!” Charlotte tornò di un colore normale e un ghigno le spunto sul viso mentre la bocca di Dolly si spalancava. La scopa malandata di Charlotte intercettò il suo piede. Dolly cadde come un sacco di patate in avanti. “Non voglio sentire un fiato! Bisogna rispettare spazi e tempi nel quidditch! Dovete impararlo fin da adesso!” Charlotte andò a sedersi con gli altri soddisfatta. Un ragazzo magro e pallido del grifondoro che era sceso dalla scopa prima di suonare la campanella e non aveva voluto sapere di risalire diede una mano a Dolly Jepsen a rialzarsi. Fu il mio turno. Madama Bumb mi fece un cenno. Alzai i piedi da terra e partii. Sentii il trillo della campanella e mi fermai. “Bella tecnica Frost!” Madama Bumb girò appena la testa nella mia direzione. “Grazie Professoressa.” Andai a mettermi seduta con Charlotte e Brigid e prendemmo in giro quella smorfiosa di Dolly Jepsen.

I’m so happy to know more about you ! >3< I see you often on my dashboard and activity, so I was curious to know a bit more

Hi!! I’m so happy to get to know you! The Fubukis are my favorite characters as well and yours is one of the very first IE blogs i followed! I really love seeing your posts where you express your love for the twins, it brightens my day!

I don’t know if you remember me, but back in september I asked you advice about making gifs through my main blog. You really helped me, I think I got a lot better at it since September!

I’m really happy to be back in the fandom, the last months have been really hard for me, but rewatching my old childhood favorite has been a real help. I’m glad you like my post since I’m really just writing down all my dumb thoughts about IE. Anyway thank you!!!

Uuuu sei italiana? Non lo sapevoo! :D e sono d'accordo la matematica è bellissima :’) diffondi il tuo amore ~ ~

Eh già! *high five*

E si adoro la matematica! È sempre un po’ strano però perché quando esco da un esame contenta e fiera di me stessa (hai presente quando gli insegnanti fanno quelle domande scritte in modo da confondere apposta ma tu sei tipo: “Aha! Non mi freghi!” e riesci a risolverla lo stesso? Ci si sente proprio bene dopo) e intanto tutti i tuoi compagni stanno pregando per un sufficiente. Non è facile trovare altri a cui piace, ed e un peccato.

Viva noi pochi a cui piace!

Your Existential Crisis & You: a Guide, with love, xoxo The Frosts

Part 2: The Twins vs NIHILISM

eheheheheehehehe >:)

(Part 1) Part 2

I am ONCE AGAIN waking up from a nap on Friday evening to post Thursday Night Doodles and cackle to myself all evening about it >:)

Once I had the doodles for the Cold Front well on their way, the image of Fino and Fiera as that nihilism meme, you know the one:

Popped into my head unbidden and I IMMEDIATELY printed it to trace the poses and then give it my BEST ATTEMPT WITH THE TWINS. And y'all. Getting the stereotype one for Fino was a fucking NIGHTMARE. I have no less than SIX (6) skeleton sketches, one of which was basically almost done but wasn't crouchy enough lol. What a fun challenge that was!!

And, of COURSE, here are the sketches because A) I liked them just as much as the scans up there and B) THE SKETCHES ACTUALLY WORK SIDE BY SIDE FOR THE MEME! Whereas the SCANS don't quite--hence why they're one on top of the other, lol.

BOOM.

Do I have something for the Blinter? WHY YES, I DO! An IDEA. I have Blaise for sure but the one Winter's slotted as rn doesn't seem to fit in with the theme. Granted, she is the most unhinged of all the Frosts (it's where they get their shenanigan related ideas from lol) so it checks out that she'd be not QUITE in the same wheelhouse with their existential crisises but THAT'S FOR ME TO DWELL ON, AND YOU TO LAUGH ABOUT IN 3 TO 5 BUSINESS WEEKS :D

happy weekend everyone! I'm gonna go do the aforementioned cackling now >:)

[safyresky]

Drew these for reasons today, and the twins actually popped out from the image to possess me to post these:

Scrimbly Jacqueline 29/52: adult supervision does NOT go according to plan...

✨🧪🔥😴💚🧡✨

"Right. Okay. So. Let me get this straight." Jacqueline took a brief, long deep breath in. "You think you've finally managed to perfect your sleeping elixir and Ken's going to test it for you."

"Yep."

"That about sums it up, yes."

"And you decided it'd be best to have an adult on hand, despite both of you being adults."

"I mean...is nineteen hundred really adulty?"

"YES."

"I dunno, Jacqueline. I don't feel very adulty. Ken's way more mature than me."

"Not nearly as such."

"You're too hard on yourself, dude! You're super mature."

Ken blushed. "Oh! Well. Thank you, Fino."

Fino grinned. "Of course!"

"Right. Okay. So you both decided an adult would be wise, despite being mature," she enunciated the T, her voice popping up an octave. "but are still going through with this despite, y'know, all the red flags."

"Yep!"

"Correct."

"And you can't like, test it on like, a mote, because?"

"Motes have a very different physiology from magibeans, Jacqueline."

"And it already works on them! So Ken said he'd give it a try!"

"Us orcs have very high constitution, after all."

"It's true! I've seen him nearly poison himself four times this week alone and seventy-five percent of the time he had zero side effects! Didn't even know he'd ingested poison! The worst thing that happened was a gnarly case of diarr—"

"We don't need to give your sister all the details."

"He's just being a supportive partner!"

"I know how much it means to you to master all facets of magic. I can make sacrifices."

"Right. So. Why me? Why not Mom or Dad? Jack? Lucy?! I mean, she's a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, Fino."

"Yeah, and would probably tell us to not do this."

"Debatable. Woman loves her science. She'd MAYBE protest in case, you know, the side effect to sleeping potion is DEATH. But she'd probably stay on site and be able to, y'know, HEAL you BOTH if anything untoward happened."

Fino squinted. "You turn more into mom every day."

"I can't tell if that's an insult or a compliment."

"Just an observation."

"Compliment," Ken clarified.

"Right. Okay. So you decided, quite idiotically, that Lucy was a no. Mom and Dad?"

"Didn't want them to worry!"

"Jack?!"

"Didn't feel right!"

"So you settled on me."

"Yeah! I dunno, I guess I just thought, y'know, out of all the more adulty adults in my life that aren't Ken—"

"We're the same age, Fino."

"Yeah, but maturity! Anyway, the niblets do crazier things—"

"—goddess above, don't remind me."

"So I figured that for something like this, you'd be ideal! You've got the experience, Jacqueline. So? What do you say?"

Fino grinned. His eyes got very, very big and for a brief moment Jacqueline was reminded of when he was much littler and asking for her to pretty please keep the cat, he really likes your room—

She sighed. Rubbed a spot on her temple. "Okay. Fine. But I do NOT approve."

"Don't even worry about it, Jacqueline!"

"There's a very good chance it doesn't work on magibeans yet, after all. Potions and witchcraft aren't Fino's strong suit."

"A fact you will never let me live down," Fino teased, scooping the sunset reminiscent liquid out of the cauldron and pouring it into an uncorked jar. He swirled it; the pinks and oranges gave way to purples and blues, the mixture sparkling.

"I got the colouration right! Yes!"

"Hmm. Perhaps I stand corrected. Well, bottoms up, eh Fin?" Ken took the flask from Fino, lifted it into the air, and chugged it in one go. Placing it down on the counter, he swallowed the last droplet, smacking his lips. "Tastes like gobstoppers."

"Unexpected but delightful result! And how are you feeling?"

Ken licked his lips. "Fine for the most part, though my tusks are a little bit tingly—" his eyes snapped shut and he fell down, face hitting the corner of the island as he plummeted to the floor and landed on his knees, tilting forward until his chin landed on the dirt floor, arms alongside him, ass in the air.

Jacqueline gasped, gently stepping back. Fino lifted the flask. He flushed, looked down at his partner, then up at Jacqueline through the empty vial. He chuckled, embarrassed, and scratched the back of his neck, his fiery locks warm on his skin.

"So, uh. Heh. I guess it worked?"

Ken began to snore.

"Yeah! Maybe a little too well!"

Ken snored louder, the dishes in the sink behind them rattling gently.

"That's probably not a comfortable sleeping position."

"Not unless you're like, five."

"I have a levitation spell for this—"

"Absolutely not! I think he's had MORE than enough magic for the day. I'm calling Donnie. She can lift him easy."

Fino placed the flask down and cleared his throat. "Good call."

✨🧪🔥😴💚🧡✨

hehehe huehuehue hahaha. Meet orc friend! And 1900 year old ish Fino, FULLY REALIZED! And the RETURN of MILF JACQUELINE. FEATURING STOCKING GARTERS. She's only getting Milfier, guys.

Anyway I love Orc Friend (Kenothy, aka, Ken,) sooo much you guys. You don't even KNOW. Today I decided he has the most luscious, wavy, L'Oreal shampoo commercial hair. One day I'll draw him in cleaned UP scrimbly format! But for now, BEHOLD! A BUTT.

Design Notes:

I really did give Fino a goddamn mullet. He's working it.

He alternates between vest and no vest. Since he's at home practising potions, it's a no vest day. This is deffs NOT code for "I forgot he wears a lil vest sometimes. a lil waistcoat, if you will"

Milfline's bun is poofier because it is closer to the end of the day. That thing is five seconds from pulling a Mrs. Claus up-do explosion, and Ken being KO'd by a sleeping potion certainly doesn't help!

K and I were talking about garters and stays and such today and adding them to Jacqueline's fit hit me so hard my desk chair wheeled back on me! More on this next week.

I got a really cool pair of boots in Dreamlight Valley and if I don't adapt them to Milfline I may die about it, more on that next week too!

I RIPPED the PAPER bc I originally had Ken drawn like. Across the page? But I was picturing him butt in the air the way kids pass out. I got home from work, looked at it, and went no wait. this is how it should be doodled, and voila! Orc Friend Butt

Orc Friend Deets, if you're curiouse :3 (under the read more)

Post Colouring Thoughts:

I forgot how. In theory. Fino's patterned dress shirts and rainbow lined cloak are cool as FUCK. But in PRACTISE. Make him look like a bowling alley carpet.

You know what tho? It matches the mullet >:)

Which I am wildly proud of tbh!

Decided that orc friend DOES dress fancy! hence the (matching) green coat with golden buttons >:3

His hair is SO luscious and I put the gold in just to see the lines bc after I coloured it it didn't really show, but now I'm like. idk! I kinda like it!

His right hand got eaten? I sketched it. And now it is gone. I think it's under all that hair.

He also has a BUTT TON of earrings, ya girl just got sleeby and forgot to add them in! But he has like. 5 on each ear and one of the earrings is two studs linked by a chain bc it's NEAT

Maybe I'll do like a proper scrimble of him! I really like Orc Friend you guys :3

"The snow is already GAY Jacqueline, WE'RE the ones MAKING IT!"

I feel like, in a way, this is a spiritual successor to this one lol. If Jacqueline doesn't confuse Jack at least once (1 time) per day, is she even doing her do diligence as both annoying little sister and middle child?

Bonus: this is by far the cutest Winter I have ever drawn

Happy pride! :)

[based on this classic]

[winter and jacqueline frost are my oc's. you can read about em here! they appear in the tag a lot but hey man, you gotta plug yourself when you can 🤷🏻‍♀️]

[that could've been phrased better]

omg okokok I was gonna put this all in the tags but my tags are ALREADY long as fuck but guys. you guys. do you know how I got these ding dang photos of the thing? I TOOK MY SKETCH BOOK INTO WORK AND USED THE BIG SCANNER. THE SCANNER THAT INTERNET ARCHIVE USES FOR BOOKS. THAT KINDA SCANNER. WE CALL IT THE LIZARD (it has lizard in it's name, I think) AND IT TOOK QUALITY TIFFS! That I had to flip to png's to post. BUT STILL! I GOT THE GOOD LIGHTING, EVEN IF SOME QUALITY IS LOST!

I mean, it's got layers and layers and layers of marker and metallic marker and pencil crayon and the like, so the smudgeness is not surprising, lol. Playing around with colours for the cold front was fun! I'll figure out my limited colour palette with Jack's usual fit at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wasn't sure if I wanted to add Winter or not but I asked the jury (since the og meme has jesse on a ladder) and the jury said YES and she's my favourite part of this whole ding dang thing. I drew her first. AND coloured her first. She has existed in all her =D glory a better part of the week! Best thing I've ever drawn hands down, I will NEVER top that lmao

anyway. scrimbly forthcoming at the end of the week hopefully, barring my busy ass weekend getting in the way! And I HAVE gotten the June prompts in ye olde inbox--y'all have given me some PUZZLERS. Has my brain doing the BIG THINK

Crystal Springs Chapter 21: now on ao3!

It's one of my favourite chapters, to boot! Check out some funky Frosty (and fiery!) sibling shenanigans right hecking HERE

Chapter 21: Jacqueline's Cat (Two Weeks Later)

Sibling shenanigans ensue two weeks later when Jack writes a letter to Santa and Jacqueline is adopted by a cat. Fino has a lot of questions. Meanwhile up North, Santa and Bernard make a deal.

Chapter's been cleaned up! Fixed some spelling errors and removed some redundant saids. Yuck. Said is NOT dead but my GOD it doesn't need to be so repetitive! Ah well. We learn and grow. Here, have my favourite part of this chapter for today's excerpt (it's long so feel free to click "J" to jump past the rest of the post):

"I'd duck if I were you, by the way."

"You'd what now?" There was a nasty thwack; Fino's head flew forward, a hiss as something cold and wet landed on his hair, rapidly melting down his back. "ACK!" "FINO SERAFINO FROST!" The colour drained out of Fino's face. "I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO LET THE CAT IN THERE IT JUST. IT REALLY LIKED IT, DON'T TURN ME INTO A PILE OF ASHES!" He scrambled around Jack, hiding behind his back. "You're lucky I've had the day to cool off," Jacqueline said with a huff, dodging the six red poinsettias floating behind her brothers as she caught up to them. "More flowers?" "We went downtown. Made a day about it. Picked up some more since Fino felt that there wasn't enough fiery holiday décor." "You've been harbouring this fugitive all day?!" Jacqueline sounded appalled. "What is it you say?" Jack said, feigning forgetfulness. "Oh, yes! That's it. I do what I want, Jacqueline. Besides, it was mutually beneficial. I needed a tour guide." "And I delivered," Fino said proudly, the three siblings turning the corner onto Evergreen Lane. "I am sorry about the cat, Jacqueline. I've been trying to coax him out all month but he's very stubborn." "What's his deal?!" she asked, cradling a litter box full of cat related toys and things in her arms. "He likes the cold but doesn't like the outside. Your room is like, his preferred climate. I was trying to strike a deal with him, that if he left your room I'd take him to Aunt Spring's, because I think the chilly spring weather may be nice for him, but he was adamant on staying put." "You were trying to strike a deal with a cat?" Jack asked, perplexed. "I can talk to animals," Fino said proudly. "Did I know that?" Jack asked. Jacqueline shrugged. "I dunno. Can't remember mentioning it. Or it coming up. This month's been a blur. Does the cat have a name?" "I've been calling him Catto." "Catto?" "Catto!" "I hope he isn't attached to it because that sure as sleet isn't sticking." "I don't think he is. I figured if he did get stuck there when you came, you could name him! I know you're not too fond of cats but you'll like him. He's a big sweetheart! And he's cuddly." "And sharp and pointy, so we'll have to take baby steps before cuddles." Jacqueline said. "And we'll need to work on him stealing my stuff! Speaking of which, Jack, did you manage to—" A battle cry rang out from the forest alongside them, cutting Jacqueline off. The siblings stopped, watching as a sooty child tumbled out of the forest, beelining for Jacqueline. "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE HIM ALIVE!" the soot monster screamed, rushing for Jacqueline's knees. With an eyeroll, she stepped to the side. The soot monster ran right past her, Jacqueline's slight tap of her foot going unnoticed by everyone but Jack. The soot monster slipped, squealing, and slid, finally falling over. A snowbank met them halfway, the snow poofing up with some soot, the monster laughing delightedly now. "Hot girl soot went well today, then?" Fino asked, grinning down at the sooty child. "Heck yeah it did!" she replied, wiping her face off to reveal a very flushed Fiera. "I think I've almost got hovering with firepower totally down." "Without exploding us?" "That's still like a non zero chance," she replied, stepping out of the snowbank (carefully) and dusting off her mantle coat. "But I'm CLOSE!"

Sorry it's so long! The whole excerpt is gold and I couldn't bring myself to skip ANY bits. Wanna find out what preceded this moment? Read Chapter 21: Jacqueline's Cat HERE on ao3, and HERE on fanfic dot net!

Wanna take it from the top? Check out the Prologue: An Encounter, here on ao3 and here on fanfiction dot net (which will have a freshly edited Chapter 21 later today! Probably after work. I'll reblog when it's up:) donezo! ayo!

Summary is below the cut, as per the uzhe. Two more chapters before FRESH CONTENT 🥳🥳

It's been almost a year since Jack Frost thawed and things are looking...well, not so great. Jack's powers are seemingly gone. Without them, the Dome that keeps the North Pole safe from the cold and its magic controlled is melting, putting everything and everyone magical at risk. Unable to hide his power shortage any longer, Jack is forced to admit the truth. Thankfully, there is a solution: enacting the Legate Law, bringing Jack and the sister that he hurt so many centuries ago back together again. But when Jacqueline starts experiencing destructive blackouts, the pair are forced to head back home to Crystal Springs, bringing Jack face to face with the rest of the family. Needless to say, between getting his powers back, helping his sister figure out what in the FROST those blackouts even were, reconciling with his parents, meeting the two even younger siblings he didn't even KNOW he had, NOT TO MENTION the ancient threat that's had it out for the ENTIRE Frost family finally making a move? Saving Christmas (regrettably) is looking to be a little bit...complicated.

Crystal Springs Chapter 16: Now on ao3!

HERE IT IS!

Chapter 16: It's Dinner Time!

Dinner time arrives and with it, a lore drop. Autumn gets to the bottom of Winter and Jack's disconnect.

This is one of my FAVOURITE chapters. I hope you all enjoy it too! It was v hard to pick a snippet to share, so I decided to go meta (this chapter has about 3 moments of self-awareness/fourth wall breaking, if you squint. It REEKS of author bias, lmao)

Jack turned back to his aunts. Summer had leaned in closer—an astonishing feat since she was already right beside him. Autumn watched, head on her linked hands, elbows on the table. Spring still sat with one leg over the other, arms crossed, glaring at Jack...but her eyebrow gave a little twitch. Interesting, Jack thought over a spoonful of mash. "Anyway, it didn't last, of course. Santa managed to come back and reverse trick me. We got back to the proper timeline, and I was almost immediately apprehended by the Elfficers for...other things, funnily enough." "Not the overthrowing thing?" Summer asked. "He froze a couple of people and locked them in a closet with their not-frozen kid," Jacqueline offered. "Shut. Up!" Summer exclaimed. Thanks Jacqueline. "Did you not know that, Summer?" Spring asked, a little too innocently. Sorry, were you not going to say that bit? "No! I didn't! Oh my gosh…then what happened?" Summer asked, shifting in her seat so that she now sat cross-legged, her chin in her hand as she leaned on the table, fully enraptured with Jack's tale. I was going to sugar coat it. You know Spring would've come back with the salt, Jack. Jack had to take a quick sip of his own drink to hide his laughter. "Well," he said, "Now we get to the good part. So, there I was! Two little elf men on either side, shoving me into the Workshop, and they bring me right before Santa. Bernard's temp had discovered Lucy and her parents in the closet, the parents frozen solid courtesy of yours truly. He and Lucy tell the big guy, who already knows all about the whole stealing Christmas thing, of course, as we were SURROUNDED by the Council, so the odds were already stacked against me!" "I can't believe I'm rooting for you right now," Autumn said. "I get that a lot," Jack joked. Autumn and Summer laughed; Jacqueline rolled her eyes, smiling, nonetheless. "Maybe you're rooting for him because you know how it ends, Aunt Autumn," Jacqueline mused, pulling her hair over her shoulder thoughtfully. "REDEMPTION ARC!" Fiera shouted down the table. Even Spring let a little smile escape, very briefly. She seemed to have loosened up a little bit, though she still sat rigid, watching Jack as intently as Winter watched her. "Spoilers, Fiera! Please!" "Sorry!" "Yeah Fiera, spoilers," Fino said, flinging more mashed potatoes at her. She dodged it in time, the potatoes beelining for Blaise. Lightning fast, Blaise smacked his spoon on the table, sending it up in the air; it deflected the mash and the pile fell with a plop onto the candle in front of them, extinguishing the flame. "You were saying?" Autumn asked, as the candle hissed. "Yeah, keep going!" Summer added.

And yes, if you're wondering, I did name this chapter with The Emperor's New Groove in mind. So it's best you read the chapter title exactly the way Yzma delivers THIS banger of a line (beware flashy gif):

DUH DUH DUH DAHHHHH

Next chapter will be up next week! We'll finally finally FINALLY get that sweet, sweet, Jack and Winter reunion. I think. Lemme go check smth real quick.

SORRY CHAPTER AFTER THAT. But next week: Some BADASS Frosty Sibs games, AND a good Blaise and Jack moment, AND some fun Winter moments! THEN WE GO TO THE MARKET AFTER THAT! YEAH YEAH YEAH! WOOO! (explodes)

[safyresky]

I am thinking about fusion AU very much. It has OCCURRED to me that I have NEVER talked about the OTHER two frost fusions: Blinter (the ultimate Renny) and Fire, so uh. Have some quick facts?

Fire is Fiera/Fino, if that wasn't obvious by the name lmao

They are ALWAYS on FIRE. But sometimes they have a magical stick (Fino's staff, as he gets more experience being a Warlock)

They are UNHINGED, more so than the Frosts usually are

I'm half tempted to say they are just a giant vaguely human shaped fire, but I think they just CHOOSE to be a flaming ball of fire 90% of the time

When NOT on fire (very rare) they look perfectly normal (I mean. They're a fused pair of identical TWINS who get on quite well)

Would add extra limbs for funnsies sometimes, but have to think really hard about it bc whenever they're around, they have 2 of each (tragic)

Fire and Jackie are like, the WORST. Like, to other people. These two get to you? They will ROAST you (with words and maybe actual fire) in 5 seconds flat. Menaces. NOBODY pisses these two off

Like, everyone KNOWS that if you fuck with Fire (Fusion), you will get burnt, but not by them, by Jackie, who will kill to protect their little sibling

AND if people who AREN'T Fire fuck with Jackie, Fire gets very offended and it's on SIGHT

Jackie: SICK 'EM, FIRE

Fire: HELL YEAH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If someone were to fuck with BOTH fusions, they will be roasted and have a lot of regret when Jackie inevitably takes a very deep breath in and yells RENNNYYYYYYYYY

Because that's Blinter. And Blinter is the biggest renny bear. They will go to TOWN on ANYONE who hurts their kiddos, and Fire and Jackie know this, and abuse it very much when fighting really annoying enemies or whatever

Blinter I think is even taller than Diteline, and more often than not carries their terrible kids away like potato sacks

Just the IMAGE of this giant PERSON holding Jackie in one arm and flaming ball of Fire in the other arm is goddamn hilarious

It's like momma cats with kittens when they grab the scruff? Blinter scoops up the kids and Fire immediately extinguishes and Jackie just goes limp.

It's very confusing

They understand the fire going out thing, but getting Jackie to sit still?

Unbelievable. Inconceivable.

Blinter's deffo a little bit on the quiet side, they're always having a conversation with themselves and Jackie and Fire can tell exactly what Blinter says with a look

And Blinter can indeed just. Mind message them, lol, so there's no need to speak especially since 80% of the time, if Blinter's around, it's because Jackie and Fire have Done Some Chaos >:)
